SEASON IS FIXED
Wood burn The fceml - annual
meeting of the Wood burn Berry
Growers' Cooperative association
was held at the Artisan hall Sat
urday afternoon with about 175
present. The meeting was held for
the purpose of fixing prices for
picking loganberries which was fix
ed at c plus 4c bonus for those
who remain during the season.
H. F. Butterfield. president of the
association, presided. A general
discussion of the berry situation
and prices was held. A definite
price has not been established and
the deal is still pending but will
probably be settled this week. In
any event the price will be very
low and a number of growers have
stated that they will not pick their
crop.
l livery of berries started at the
Ray-Brown cannery this Monday
which Is the earliest date ever
known for the opening of the lo
ganberry season. The growers were
caught bv surprise with the extre
mely early season and find them
selves with a fine crop both as to
quantity and quality and with a
market which Is fine, statistically,
but exteremelv low actually.
STRAWBERRIES GET
BENEFIT BY RAIN
The heavy rain the last of last
-eek. rather than damaging the
strawberries and muddying them
up, seemed to work heavily to their
benefit Instead, according to report
from canners, and the berries com
ing in today from over the week
picking arc said to have been of
the finest quality yet delivered
f rom patches in this dist t irt and
berries were also coming In In
larrer quantities.
Sunshine scrinim-ly In the offing
now for the rest of the season fol
lowed the drenrhintr rain should
work all for the benefit of the ber
ry growers and produce extra qual
ity fruit.
WHEAT CROP CUT
IN EAST OREGON
Pendleton, May 21 M) A M) per
frnt wheat crop for eastern Oregon
unless weather conditions change Is
predicted bv J. W. Maloney, collec
tor of Internal revenue and former
wheat farmer of Pendleton. The
present condition was ascribed to
the fact that wheat went through
the winter without the usual mois
ture. A below normal crop was seen for
Umatilla county and unless condi
tions change soon, the yield mas ex
pected to be around four million
bushels.

100 ACRES SPUD
FOR RELIEF MAY
BE PLANTED HERE
Chances ire that there may be
as hi:h as 100 acres of spuds put
out In home garden patches (or re
lief work, or lor relief work on
some other basis than home gar
den patches as compared to a
probable 40 acres planted last year.
The plan for spud growing will be
worked out by the county commit
tee, the necessity for larger plant
ings this year being brought home
to the committee by Ivan White,
field relief man, for the state com
mittee, in an Interview with the
county committee last week. Just
how the plantings will be worked
out Is yet to be determined by the
committee.
Whether Individuals who plant
the seed furnished by the commit
tee will be asked to secure their
own ground, such as city lots now
unused and going to weeds, or
whether the committee will endeav
or to secure a tract of land close
to the city, say 100 acres, and work
out the planting, tillage and dig
ging under some plan, will prob
ably be determined at an early
meeting.
Last year 200 sacks of seed pota
toes, 100 pounds to the suck, were
cut up and distributed In 20-pound
packages. In cases where larger
plantings were needed two or three
or more sacks were given out to a
person. On that basis about BOO
sacks of seed potatoes would be
used this year Instead of 200.

STOCK MARKET
SALES LIGHTEST
FOR TEN YEARS
New York, May 21 (IPV Today's
stock market session was the light
est In 10 years, and other markets
were correspondingly dull.
Contrary to usual procedure,
however, prices moved in a narrow
ranee. Ordinarily in a dull and un
certain market there is a decline.
One trader explained the lethargy:
"There is no reason for trading on
either side of the market."
Wall street waa awaiting the pres
ident's message on silver expected
tomorrow. In the hope it would be
constructive for silver metal, trad
ers bid up the silver issues 2 to

will be required to advance tho
money to pay the contractors and
we have not the available stute
funds with which to make these
advances unless provision for im
mediate reimbursement out of fed
eral funds is provided for. All of
the state funds we have available
are being used to meet costs and
advances incident to the NRA road
projects."
Baldock said that he would rec
ommend to the highway commis
sion that J. M. Devers, commis
sion attorney, be sent to Washing
ton immediately to handle and
speed up the work of securing final
approval of PWA on the contracts
and to winding up the details of
the additional loan. Weeks of
time, he said, can be saved by hav
ing someone on the ground In
Washington to press the matter.
When actual work can be start
ed on the bridges at Coos Bay and
Yaquina Bay, on which contracts
have already been let. and on the
structures over the Umpqua and
Siuslaw rivers, on which bids will
be opened June 7, depends entire
ly upon how soon formal approval
by PWA in Washington can be
secured, Baldock said. He added
that he does not expect operations
to start before June 15.
"We are anxious to get these Jobs
started and get men to work, but
we cannot start spending the money
until it ls in the bank. We have
notified the contractors that we
will not be responsible for any ex
pense they incur until they are
authorized to go ahead."
News that PWA has tentatively
agreed to approve the additional
loan and grant required was
ceived over the week-end by Devers
in a telegram from C. C. Hockley,
reaional director of PWA who is
now in Washington. The tele
gram read:
"PWA will approve contracts ' i
bridacs Thursday. Have secured
tentative approval adduional funds.
Confirmation later."
The contracts to be approved are
those on the Coos Bay and la
quina Bay bridges.
Baldock said the commission
would proceed with its plan
open bids on the Umpqua and Sius
law structures at the June 7 meet
ing on the strength of assurances
received from Hockley, who has
advised the commission that PWA
is taking full cocnizance of rising
material costs and has authorized
th call for tenders on the two
remaining bridges.

TUMILEJODAY
Chicago. May 21 0V) Despite
drought and heat over a major
part of the domestic grain bt'lt,
wheat prices averaged lower todsy.
There was no sustained fol!ow
up to buying movements, the best
of which was assreiated with def
inite word that President Roose
velt's silver message would be
forthcoming tomorrow. A rrason
for lack of continued aggressive
juyin-? was talk in some quarters
that the domestic c:irry-over of
wheat July 1 pmmiscd to total a
much as 250 000,(110 bmhels.
Wheat closed unstable at about
the d:ivs low paint, -'i under
Saturday's finish, July H8&-,
corn -''h down, oats unchanged
to higher, and provisions un
changed to a rise of 10 cents.
Tumbles of wheat prices after
ward took t he market to below
Saturday's finish. Official fore
casts pointed to cooler tempera
tures tonitrht in tha Dakotas, Min
nesota and Nebraska with possible
frosts. Downturns of wheat quota
tions at Winnipeg were a ;ontrib
utintr bearish fact nr. Canadian
dispatches asserted that week-end
moisture in the prairie provinces
had been sufficient to cheek rav
ages of drought and to hinder the
spread of grasshoppers.
Corn and oats displayed relative
firmness.
Provisions averaged slightly high'
